[How can you keep all files within a folder on the same drive?]

Ok, I'm currently using the Ordered file placement.  

 

Maybe someday there will be a solution.

You'll want to use File Placement Rules on folders to ensure they stay on specific drives.  Balancing settings, File Placement tab, Folders tab.

If your files are currently spread out over multiple disks (per folder) you will want to setup the desired rules, then initiate a re-balance to have it move them into place.

I understand the rules and that's fine for a few folders, but I have thousands of folders and I don't really care what disk they are stored on, so long as it is on one disk and not spreed out over many disks...Does this make sense?  Is there some way to set this up?   Also, all my thousands of folders are all within 1 folder if that makes a difference.

Basically, I want all my folders files to be kept together on each drive.  

I am trying to prevent having Folder A be created on several disks, with its contents spread across those disks.  Then I have 3 folder A's each with part of folder A's contents.    

I have had to shut down a pool before and its a pain to have several disks, all with same folders, but incomplete files spread out over several disks.  Then I need to merge them together to get back to normal. 

Does this make sense?  And is there a solution?
